• Authors: Manfried Faber
• Abstract summary: We describe particles in a potential by a special diffusion process, the maximal entropy random walk (MERW) MERW originates in a variational problem, it shares the linear algebra of Hilbert spaces with quantum mechanics. We discuss why quantum mechanics cannot be simply a result of MERW, but, due to the many analogies, MERW may pave the way for further understanding.

• Abstract: We describe particles in a potential by a special diffusion process, the maximal entropy random walk (MERW) on a lattice. Since MERW originates in a variational problem, it shares the linear algebra of Hilbert spaces with quantum mechanics. The Born rule appears from measurements between equilibrium states in the past and the same equilibrium states in the future. Introducing potentials by the observation that time, in a gravitational field running in different heights with a different speed, MERW respects the rule that all trajectories of the same duration are counted with equal probability. In this way, MERW allows us to derive the Schr\"odinger equation for a particle in a potential and the Darwin term of the nonrelativistic expansion of the Dirac equation. Finally, we discuss why quantum mechanics cannot be simply a result of MERW, but, due to the many analogies, MERW may pave the way for further understanding.

  This article studies the breaking of the Lorentz symmetry at the Planck length in quantum mechanics. We use three-dimensional p-adic vectors as position variables, while the time remains a real number. We introduce a new p-adic Dirac equation that predicts the existence of particles and antiparticles and charge like the standard one.

  We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

• Optimal bounds on the speed of subspace evolution [77.34726150561087]
  In contrast to the basic Mandelstam-Tamm inequality, we are concerned with a subspace subject to the Schroedinger evolution. By using the concept of maximal angle between subspaces we derive optimal bounds on the speed of such a subspace evolution. These bounds may be viewed as further generalizations of the Mandelstam-Tamm inequality.

  We show that Einstein's equations of the theory arise in the semi-classical limit of the quantum evolution of probability under the process. In particular, in flat Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity, the area of compactified space solved for by Einstein's equations can be identified as a probability density evolving under the Markovian process.

  It is argued that the Schr"odinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events. A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.

  In the present work, we are concerned not with a single state but with a whole (possibly infinite-dimensional) subspace of the system states that are subject to the Schroedinger evolution. We derive an optimal estimate on the speed of such a subspace evolution that may be viewed as a natural generalization of the Fleming bound.
